Review:
Pasifika Drift is a hilarious yet thought-provoking film that offers a piece of Papua New Guinea to mixed individuals searching for a piece of their indigenous identity.
The bright vivid coloring theme sets a tropical atmosphere throughout the film.
Although the delivery of Tok Pisin dialogue is not fluent, the flaw itself emphasizes the cultural disconnection faced by mixed individuals who never had a chance to grow up among their Pacific family.
Final Thoughts:
A film for those longing for a piece of home – heartwarming and emotional.
Rating: 4/5
